Name of the Patient : Abc XyzWaigalmn / M / 50 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzisheri.
Examination : M.R.I. of the Brain.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O headaches.

EXAMINATION :

M.R.I of the brain was performed using the following parameters :

5 mm thick T1 Weighted, proton and T2 Weighted axial images.

5 mm thick FLAIR and Fast Scan (T2 *) coronal images.

5 mm thick T1 Weighted sagittal images.

OBSERVATION :

There is a small hypointense area in the right thalamus. This is seen to turn hyperintense on the proton, T2 Weighted and FLAIR images and may represent a fresh area of ischemia/infarction.

There is no obvious evidence of haemorrhage on this study.

Both the lateral, third and the fourth ventricles are normal. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no shift of the midline structures. No obvious vascular anomaly is identified on this study.

IMPRESSION :

The MRI features are suggestive of an area of altered signal intensity in the right thalamus and this most likely represents a fresh area of ischemia/infarction.
